Belle Weather: Mostly Sunny With a Chance of Scattered Hissy Fits by Celia Rivenbark



Synopsis: From the bestselling author of WE'RE JUST LIKE YOU, ONLY PRETTIER and BLESS YOUR HEART, TRAMP comes a hilarious new book.
Hang on to your hats! We're in for some fiercely funny weather and crackling-sharp observations from Celia Rivenbark, of whom USA Today has said, "Think Dave Barry with a female point of view." With her incomparable style and sassy southern wit, You'll hear from Celia on:
  • The joys of remodeling Tara
  • How Harry Potter bitch-slaps Nancy Drew
  • Britney's To-Do list: pick okra, cover that thang up
  • How rugby-playing lesbians torpedoed beach day
  • Why French women suck at competitive eating
  • The truth about nature deficit disorder
  • The difference between cockroaches and water bugs
  • The beauty of Bedazzlers
  • And much, much more!

Whether she's doing her taxes or extolling the virtues of Madonna's mothering skills, Celia Rivenbark will keep you laughing until the very last page.

My thoughts: Well I think that synopsis about says it all. I laughed a lot while listening to this. I read another of her books and I don't remember so many "s" words. I found that a little off putting after awhile. There was a little political commentary, which I try to avoid. Otherwise it was a hoot! I have another of her books in a TBR pile for the Southern Reading Challenge 2009.
